A report outlining threats to Moreton Bay’s migratory shorebirds has recently been released. The report was commissioned as part of the Australian Government’s Mountains Mangroves project being delivered by Healthy Land & Water through the Regional Land Partnerships program.
A clever new initiative has just been launched to restore the once-thriving fish populations of the Logan and Albert Rivers, and the project partners are encouraging the entire community to get involved.
Did you know that mangrove forests protect coastal houses and infrastructure from rising sea levels and strong eroding tidal waves? Mangroves are woody plants that grow parallel to shorelines or tidal creek systems. They are ecologically important ecosystems that link the land and sea and provide the basis for one of the most important ecosystems on Earth.
Passionate landholders Sam and Shane are dedicating significant time and effort to transforming their block at Purga into an oasis for native species of plants and animals, including threatened local koala populations.
Glossy Black-Cockatoos are one of Australia’s smallest and rarest cockatoos, affectionately known as Glossies. Unfortunately, this special bird is at risk.
An additional $2 million has been announced for a program to improve habitat resilience for South East Queensland’s koala populations. This additional funding builds on Healthy Land & Water’s Protecting Koalas project which is specifically focused on the Flinders Peak area.
The new funding will expand our koala protection efforts into the Lake Manchester, North Pine, and Grandchester areas. We will be working closely with private landholders and Seqwater to roll out the on-ground actions.
A community-driven project to protect the shoreline at Golden Beach shoreline against erosion has weathered a massive storm and come up trumps, whilst increasing fish habitat and the presence of sand in the area.
